| description | Engineering mathematics is essential for fostering analytical and problem-solving abilities in
engineering education, especially in Malaysia, where it plays a crucial role in the nation's technical
and industrial ambitions. Nevertheless, students encounter substantial obstacles such as the need
to strike a balance between grasping abstract concepts and acquiring practical skills, surmounting
feelings of apprehension about mathematics, actively participating in crowded classrooms, and
adapting to the demands of online education and self-directed study. This paper examines the
difficulties and suggests remedies, with a focus on incorporating active learning methods, creating
supportive learning environments, and using digital resources to improve student involvement and
understanding. The study emphasizes the significance of visualizing abstract mathematical ideas
and establishing connections with practical engineering applications. These strategies are
important to maintain the sustainable development of engineering education. By using these
strategies, instructors may enhance pupils' readiness for prosperous engineering jobs, guaranteeing
that they grasp mathematical ideas, and possess the ability to apply them proficiently in real-world
situations. |
